That evening, Chen Shao found two caves, one large and one small, next to each other. He even tidied up the smaller cave, laying down a thick layer of dry grass, and then let Jiang Qinyu live alone in the smaller cave.

"Sister-in-law Lu, you can stay here tonight. We're next door. Just call us if you need anything," Chen Shao said, his eyes shining as he looked at Jiang Qinyu.

Jiang Qinyu did not refuse and thanked him, "Thank you very much. Please remember to arrange for someone to keep watch tonight, and someone also needs to keep watch over the wild goats."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, the village chief and my dad have arranged everything." Chen Shao said with a grin. "Then I'll head over first. You should get some rest, sister-in-law."

After he left, Jiang Qinyu pulled a piece of cloth from her basket and fixed it to the entrance of the hole to block the view from outside.

She walked all day today and was exhausted. Her feet were burning with pain, and she knew without even looking that she had blisters.

With no outsiders around, Jiang Qinyu took out a small flashlight and placed it at the very back of the cave, providing some dim light to the entire cave.

Then he took out a few small plush toys from near the cashier, and sat down, leaning against the toys to rest for a while.

The cave wasn't very big, but it was more than enough for her to live in alone. Moreover, the temperature in the mountains was low at night, and the daytime heat and stuffiness had long since disappeared. Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow in from the cave entrance.

If Jiang Qinyu ignored the constant pain in her feet and the feeling that her bones were about to fall apart, she felt quite comfortable.

About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Qinyu sat up straight and began to treat the blisters on her feet.

If she didn't break these blisters, it would cause more trouble later. So she had to painfully break each blister, rinse them several times with clean water, and then wash her hands before taking out bread and snacks to fill her stomach.

After finishing my meal, I took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator next to the cashier. My body doesn't need to lose weight right now, so I can happily drink several bottles of soda in a row.

Unfortunately, Jiang Qinyu's belly was only so big, and she couldn't drink any more after drinking half a bottle.

She put the cola back, then opened the map in her mind and found that there was no food nearby, which meant there were no wild beasts to eat, so she could sleep peacefully for the night.

After Jiang Qinyu fell asleep, no one rested in the cave next door.

Just now, Old Man Lu and Jiang Qinyu led a group of people to find a suitable vine for weaving a net, and everyone worked together to bring it into the cave.

Even with all these grown men crammed together, they couldn't sleep peacefully. Village Chief Li, thinking about how to ensure there wouldn't be any mishaps when they went to catch wild goats tomorrow night, gave everyone a pep talk, telling them to work hard tonight and try to finish weaving the big net as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, village chief. I'm definitely not good at embroidery or mending, but weaving a net bigger than a fishing net is a piece of cake for me!"

"Hahaha... Li Tiezhu, stop bragging! I'll have a contest with you tonight to see who can make up the fastest!"

"Let's have a contest! Anyone who's got the guts, come and get me!"

"Alright, alright, keep your voices down, my niece is still sleeping next door!"

Finally, Village Chief Li lowered his voice and shouted, and everyone stopped arguing.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Lu's expression turned strange for a moment, then he understood.

That's good, from now on the girl and the two little ones will have someone to protect them in the village.

...

When the first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the thin mist and penetrated the dense forests to reach the cave where Jiang Qinyu was, she was fast asleep.

The cloth she used as a curtain was originally dark blue, but it had been washed white over the years, and any sunlight could quickly penetrate it and fall on her face.

Yesterday, Jiang Qinyu and her group did not encounter any birds when they went into the mountains, but now, in her drowsy state, Jiang Qinyu heard birds chirping.

She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat blank. After a while, she realized that she had traveled through time and was leading people in the mountains to find water and food.

Thinking that people in this era have the habit of getting up early, Jiang Qinyu immediately got up, quickly put the things that did not belong to this world into the system, and then also put away the curtain at the entrance of the cave.

Sunlight suddenly flooded the entire cave, the dazzling light almost blinding Jiang Qinyu.

"Girl, you're awake?" Old Man Lu was the first to notice the movement around Jiang Qinyu.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li looked over and said with a smile, "My dear niece, why are you up so early? Go back and lie down for a while."

"Dad, Uncle Village Chief, why are you up so early?" Jiang Qinyu was a little embarrassed because when she looked up, everyone was busy with their work, while she was the only one who had slept in.

Village Chief Li spoke with great enthusiasm, "We didn't sleep last night. Everyone has already woven a big net. Why don't you take a look and see if it works? If not, we still have time to revise it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinyu blinked in surprise. These people were truly dedicated to getting a bite of meat!

The cave Chen Shao and his group found was located on a relatively flat area. At that moment, about fifty men from Dingshui Village were all there, some weaving nets, some arranging vines, and others extracting oil from tung tree fruits using stones with holes.

When Jiang Qinyu came over, Village Chief Li showed her the net he had woven.

“I can’t break this net. Take another look and see if there’s anything missing,” Village Chief Li said with a confident smile.

Jiang Qinyu checked and found that they had written it exactly according to her requirements, but there was one problem: "Uncle Village Chief, leave a place to drive a stake every two meters."

The area where the wild goats lived was roughly rectangular, about 20 meters long and 15 meters wide. The nets they wove had to completely cover that area. Once all the prey was caught in the net, the person responsible for securing the net had to immediately drive 60-centimeter-long stone stakes into the ground.

"It's been reserved, it's been reserved. Look, it's right here," Old Lu said, pointing to a spot.

The piles must be driven into the ground in a way that is neither too tight nor too loose, and must be able to withstand the friction generated by the struggles of the wild goats.

Jiang Qinyu looked at it carefully and nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, everyone did a good job. Let's do it this way. The net can only be big, not small, but it can't be too big either."

"Alright!" Village Chief Li chuckled and shouted to the others, "Did you all hear that? Let's do it the way we did before, and try to finish weaving the other net by noon!"

Someone loudly echoed, "Alright! Village chief, you just wait and see!"

Jiang Qinyu went to Meng Tianze's place again and saw that the villagers had made more than a hundred arrows in just one night.

"Is this enough for A-Zheng's family?" Meng Tianze asked with a smile, holding a bunch of arrows.

Jiang Qinyu smiled and nodded, "Uncle Meng is more professional than me when it comes to hunting, so you can decide what to do. But it's always good to be prepared for anything."

Once the prey is caught in the net, Meng Tianze and Li Dachui, along with other experienced hunters, must immediately follow up, striking swiftly and accurately to prevent the prey from escaping.

"There's still a whole day left, that'll definitely be enough!" Meng Tianze was very confident; his archery skills were only slightly inferior to Lu Yanzheng's.

Seeing that they were well prepared, Jiang Qinyu also became looking forward to tonight's operation.

Because I had things to do, the daytime flew by.

As night falls, the hunting season in Dingshui Village officially begins...
